Expert Tips & FAQ:

What does low-GI mean? The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how carb-containing foods affect your blood sugar levels. A GI value of 55 or lower is considered to be a low GI breakfast/meal, while 70+ is high. Our bodies break down carbs into glucose and insulin passes this over to power our cells. High-GI foods make our blood glucose levels spike and crash.

• Add all the ingredients for the oats into a pot, and then cover with boiling water, and let it cook for a few minutes on low heat.
• In the mean time mash one banana in the base of you breakfast bowl.
• Once your oats are done add your oats to the bowl, then begin adding your toppings.
• NOTE: make sure you cook on low heat to avoid burning/sticking. Make sure you at least cover the "oat mixture" with water, any less will leave you with lumpy oats. Not so fun, trust me I know!
